At the turn of the 18th century, after Tipu Sultan was killed and Hindu rule restored in Mysore, the East India Company commissioned a detailed study of the regions of Mysore. Drawing upon the first survey by Francis Buchanan, this gazetteer offers in a more organized fashion, detailed notices of the various aspects of this area. The work is in 2 volumes and separated as volume 1 being a description of Mysore in general, where the notices are on : physical geography, flora, fauna, ethnography, history, religion, language and literature, art and industry and finally, administration (under various kings). There are 8 maps of Mysore that show the limits from the year 450 AD up till 1625 AD. Volume 2 is a description by district : Bangalore, Kolar, Tumkur, Mysore, Hassan, Kadur, Shimoga and Chitaldoorg. The description of each district is accompanied by a map. This set is a reprint of the 1877 edition.
